Small Roulette Stakes

Small Minimum Bets Online Roulette

You can play roulette for small/ low stakes at several casinos online. Most casinos offer just £1 or 1 euro stakes. There are casinos that offer much lower stakes. Other than free roulette, the lowest stakes you can play for is 1p or 1c, this is of course for the inside bets only.

In a land casino this would not be possible. Paying a croupier a wage would simply eat away at any profit. That’s why the smallest roulette chips in a land casino are generally 50p. The money isn’t there. Online this is different as the casino just has to use a few extra processor cycles and a little bandwidth. The cost of this is not zero but may as well be.

I do wonder the point in playing roulette for a penny though. Its neither here nor there if you win or lose. Lose 100 even money bets in a row and you are down £1. Its hardly going to bankrupt anyone. Win 100 bets in a row and you’re not going to be having any drinks to celebrate.

Things get a little more interesting at slightly higher stakes. At 10p, roulette becomes a little more interesting. The amounts you can win or lose become meaningful. At the 20p the game is actually very entertaining. Just ask all those people that play in the bookies. Those FOBT all have minimum roulette bets of 20 pence. The return on a single number is not life changing but £7.20 is nice.
